You can now pay Tinder to skip the line and improve your chances of finding a match

Getting seen on Tinder is one of the app's greatest challenges.
With millions of users around the world, chances are a large
number of potential matches in your area never even come across
your carefully thought out profile.

That's all about to change.

Now Tinder is allowing people in the UK to pay to promote their
profile through a new feature called "Tinder Boost."

So what does that actually mean? Well, it essentially makes your
profile one of the top profiles in your area for 30 minutes.
Tinder claims this will get you up to 10x more profile views and
significantly increase your chances of getting a match.

If you have Tinder Plus — £3.99 a month if you're under 28 and
£14.99 if you're older — then you get one free Tinder Boost a
week. If you want more than that, or if you don't have Tinder
Plus, then you can pay a one off fee each time you want a Boost.

Tinder is testing different pricing levels for the Boost feature.
Some people are seeing that a single boost costs £2.29, but 10
boosts can be purchased for £15. Others
are being shown £3.99 per boost with 10 going for £22.30.

Other Tinder users will not be able to tell when you've used the
Tinder Boost feature. Tinder

"You’ve got people to meet and places to be. In fact, Tinder was
designed with this in mind, providing you a simple, fun
introduction to new people nearby so you can get out and meet
them in the real world," Tinder wrote in a blog post.

"Still, sometimes there just aren’t enough hours in the day and
what you need is a boost in the right direction. Tinder Boost
gives you exactly that: a way to be one of the top profiles in
your area for 30 minutes."
